ASPNET Unit Testing — Unit Testing ASP.NET Core Components

DodaTech Updated 2026-06-28 1 min read

In this tutorial, you'll learn about ASPNET Testing Unit. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.

Unit Testing ASP.NET Core components ensures individual services and controllers behave correctly in isolation from infrastructure.

public class ScanServiceTests
{
    [Fact]
    public async Task ScanAsync_WithCleanFile_ReturnsCleanResult()
    {
        var mockEngine = new Mock<IScanEngine>();
        mockEngine.Setup(e => e.AnalyzeAsync(It.IsAny<byte[]>()))
            .ReturnsAsync(new AnalysisResult { IsThreat = false });

        var mockLogger = new Mock<ILogger<ScanService>>();
        var service = new ScanService(mockEngine.Object, mockLogger.Object);

        var result = await service.ScanAsync(new ScanRequest { FileName = "test.txt", Content = new byte[50] });

        Assert.NotNull(result);
        Assert.Equal("clean", result.Status);
        Assert.Empty(result.Threats);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void ScanRequestValidator_InvalidFileSize_ReturnsError()
    {
        var validator = new ScanRequestValidator();
        var request = new ScanRequest { FileName = "huge.bin", Content = new byte[100_000_001] };

        var result = validator.Validate(request);

        Assert.False(result.IsValid);
        Assert.Contains(result.Errors, e => e.PropertyName == "Content");
    }
}

Unit tests provide fast feedback and serve as executable documentation for component behavior.
